The Development Of Association In The Process Of Social Transformation: Theory-pondering And Countermeasure-seeking

Since 1978, Chinese society had been divided into three domains of politics, economics and society. Accordingly, the social organization, which exits hi these three domains, can be divided into governmental organization, profitable organization and non-profitable organization, which make up of governmental sector, profitable sector and non-profitable sector respectively. Over twenty year's reform made the developing direction of the domains of economics and politics clear. In the domain of society, although the non-profitable organization has developed rapidly, the reforming direction and blueprint of the domain of society are still vague. The practice of reform proves that if there is no profound reform in the domain of society, the market-oriented reform in the domain of economic and the building of democratic politics hi the domain of politics will not make a further development. That means the reform in the domain of society becomes the key factor to promote the whole reform of China. The non-profitable organization is the main active part in the domain of society. So, the state of the domain of society lies mainly in the state of non-profitable. Association is the core of Chinese non-profitable sector. So, to promote the development of society will help to the whole innovation of Chinese non-profitable sector and then the development of the whole reform hi China. Thus, it has important theoretical and practical significance to research into the development of Chinese association.Under the background of Chinese reform in the domains of politics, economics and society, guiding by Deng Xiao-ping's Theory, this paper uses such methods as normative analysis, document analyzing, quantitative analysis and case study to make research on the development of Chinese association generally and theoretically. The frame of this paper is as following:The first part analyses the new environment for the development of Chinese association. After the reform, a series of reforms in the domains of politics,economics made the government to relax the control on the domain of society, and released a lot of free space and free resources. Thus the association gained basic condition for its exiting and developing.The second part analyses the developing impetus of Chinese association, which is a core problem for the development of association. By this analysis, this paper puts forward that the rebuilding of legitimacy of government for itself and the pursuing of legitimacy of association for itself promote the development of Chinese association together.The third part puts forward that the main problems facing Chinese association are incomplete legal system, indifference between government ant association, lack of money, feeble professional ability ect, and then analyses the reason of these problems from two sides.The forth part puts forward the countermeasures for these problems, pointing out a clear direction for the development of Chinese association.The innovation of this paper is as following:The first one is the analyzing angle of view. This paper analyses the developing impetus of Chinese association from the angle of legitimacy.The second one is viewpoint. This paper puts forward that the rebuilding of legitimacy of government for itself and the pursuing of legitimacy of association for itself promote the development of Chinese association together.The third one is countermeasure. Basing on the analysis of the problems facing Chinese association and theirs reasons, the paper puts forward five pertinent and feasible countermeasures to solve these problems.
